30 Jan '25

Distinguished Seminar Series Wednesday, February 5, 2025 9:30 - 10:30am, MJIS 1001 https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/94696307969<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue-ed…> [cid:image004.png@01DB72FA.37666710] "Building Synthetic Molecular Machines Using the Code of Life" Aleksei Aksimentiev, Ph.D Professor of Biological Physics, Barden Faculty Scholar Department of Physics University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Abstract: While incremental miniaturization of a man-made machine is possible by simply reducing the size of its parts, radical miniaturization typically requires re-evaluation of physical principles that govern the machine's operation. Biological systems provide outstanding examples of machines that operate with high precision and efficiency at the nanoscale. Replicating such functionality in man-made systems remains an outstanding scientific and technological challenge. In this lecture, I will describe our recent work directed at designing synthetic molecular systems that reproduce and sometimes outperformed the functionality of biological machines. The topics to be discussed include self-assembled molecular systems that transport water, ions, and lipids across biological membranes and convert electric fields into rotary motion. The lecture will highlight the use of microscopic simulations to design and explore nanoscale biomolecular systems. Bio: Dr. Aleksei Aksimentiev received his Master's degree in physics from Ivan Franko National University of Lviv (Ukraine), and his Ph.D. in chemistry from the Institute of Physical Chemistry, Warsaw, Poland. After a brief postdoctoral training at Mitsui Chemicals, Japan, he joined the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group, Urbana, IL, as a postdoctoral research associate. In 2005, he became a faculty member of the Physics Department at the University of Illinois, where he is currently a professor of physics. His research interests include biological and synthetic DNA systems, nanopore sequencing, and molecular mechanisms of viral infection. ~BME Host: Leopold Green~ Boiler Up!

29 Jan '25

BME PhD Defense Announcement for Madeline R. McLaughlin (C. Evans-Molina and F. Huang, advisors) Everyone is invited to attend the public presentation beginning at 9:30 am. Research Title: STIM1 Interacts with G Protein-Coupled Estrogen Receptor Signaling to Maintain β Cell Identity in Female Mice Date: February 12, 2025 Time: 9:30 am Place: Zoom - https://iu.zoom.us/j/83242015222<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fiu.zoom.u…> Committee Members: Dr. Carmella Evans-Molina (Co-Chair), Dr. Fang Huang (Co-Chair), Dr. Sherry Harbin, and Dr. Qing Deng Abstract: Type 2 diabetes (T2D), a multi-factorial disease characterized by insulin resistance and pancreatic β cell dysfunction, accounts for 90% of all forms of diabetes. Recent studies identified β cell dedifferentiation as one mechanism leading to β cell failure in T2D, and this phenotype has been linked with loss of expression of cellular identity markers. The molecular mechanisms leading to β cell dedifferentiation in T2D are not well defined and represent a key gap in our understanding of disease progression. Furthermore, sex-specific mechanisms contributing to β cell dysfunction remain unknown. We demonstrated that β cell-specific STIM1 knockout (STIM1Δβ) leads to obesity-induced glucose intolerance and reduced expression of β cell identity genes in female but not male mice. Mechanistic studies identified reduced G-protein coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) expression in female STIM1Δβ islets, suggesting a novel connection between STIM1, GPER, and β cell identity. To determine how STIM1 and GPER interact to maintain β cell identity in females, we generated and characterized two mouse models: a surgical ovariectomy (OVX) model and a β cell-specific GPER knockout (GPERDβ) model. Female high fat diet (HFD)-fed OVX mice showed glucose intolerance and loss of β cell identity gene expression, and ex vivo treatment of OVX islets with a GPER agonist rescued the loss of β cell identity. Additionally, HFD-fed GPERDβ female mice had increased glucose excursions compared to controls. Our results highlight the critical role that estradiol signaling through GPER plays in the maintenance of β cell health and identity and the pathogenesis of T2D in females. -- Bmeroundtable-list mailing list Bmeroundtable-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/bmeroundtable-list

by Siemers, Tammy R 28 Jan '25

28 Jan '25

Good Afternoon, Please Note: You have been sent an individual email if you or your student is expected to prelim soon. This is for all other students that started Fall 2022 or later As part of our new PhD milestone process timeline<https://engineering.purdue.edu/BME/Academics/Graduate/PhDMilestones/PhD_Mil…> PhD students are expected to meet with their entire committee every year (spring semester). If students complete a qual exam or prelim exam during the year (fall or spring semester), that will satisfy this committee meeting requirement for that year. If they do not complete an exam, then they are required to complete a mentoring meeting with their whole committee. These mentoring meetings are intended to help keep our doctoral students on track in their research, in their academics training, and in their career development. As part of the mentoring meeting, the committee is expected to assess and mentor students using similar criteria as all other milestones meetings to help ensure the student is on track to complete their training in the Weldon School of biomedical Engineering. https://engineering.purdue.edu/BME/Academics/Graduate/PhDMilestones/Annual%… As in all annual mentoring meetings, the committee will need to fill out the digital evaluation rubric at the end of the meeting to provide feedback to the student https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1RnO1NihktcSyV0<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue.ca…>. RECAP 1. Your student needs to work with the committee to schedule a mentoring meeting to occur before the end of the Spring Semester if they are not completing a major milestone this year (qual, prelim or defense). 2. The committee reviews the criteria to be evaluated and communicates to the student what they would like the student to present/discuss during this meeting. 3. At the end of the mentoring meeting, the committee needs to complete the mentoring assessment and feedback digital form.

Dr. Tian will be presenting on Thursday, February 20. (Bio and abstract listed below.) Bio: Dr. Bozhi Tian earned his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Harvard University and completed postdoctoral research in regenerative medicine at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At the University of Chicago, his research focuses on developing new materials for bioelectronics, employing semiconductor- and electronics-based tools to investigate (sub-)cellular dynamics and soft-hard interface interactions, and the translational applications of diverse bioelectrical systems. Dr. Tian's work has been recognized with several honors, including the Raymond and Beverly Sackler International Prize in the Physical Sciences, the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), recognition as an MIT Technology Review Innovator Under 35 (TR35) in 2012, and the 2023 Faculty Award for Excellence in Graduate Teaching and Mentoring from the University of Chicago. Title: Leveraging Constraints to Enhance Spatial Resolution, Sensitivity, and Applications in Bioelectrical Interfaces Abstract: By reframing constraints as opportunities, we can strategically design experimental conditions that unlock new avenues for scientific discovery. This paradigm not only accelerates breakthroughs in fundamental research but also drives innovation in practical applications. In this talk, I will highlight our recent advancements in bioelectrical interfaces at the intersection of materials and biological systems. I will explore how we have enhanced spatial resolution to achieve precise photostimulation in cells and tissues, increased microbial sensitivity to electrical stimulation to suppress virulence, and advanced gas-phase detection of biological markers critical for addressing challenges in neonatal care. Additionally, I will present emerging bioelectronic applications, including minimally invasive optical pacing for translational medicine and cell-laden bioelectronics for inflammation treatment. These examples demonstrate how we identify pivotal questions, resolve conflicts, and harness constraints to guide transformative solutions, turning challenges into engines of discovery. I will conclude by sharing my vision for the future of bioelectrical interfaces, emphasizing how this constraints-driven approach can continue to push the boundaries of the field.

[Bmeroundtable-list] BME PhD Defense Announcement for Shulan Xiao (K. Jayant, advisor)
by May, Sandra M 27 Jan '25

27 Jan '25

BME PhD Defense Announcement for Shulan Xiao (K. Jayant, advisor) Everyone is invited to attend the public presentation beginning at 2:00pm. Title: Dendritic Mechanisms Underlying Multiplexing and Feature Selectivity in Cortical Layer 5 Pyramidal Neurons Date: February 6, 2025 Time: 2:00pm Location: MJIS 2001 and Zoom: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/93930289877<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue-ed…> Committee: Dr. Krishna Jayant (Chair), Dr. Scott R. Pluta, Dr. Alexander A. Chubykin, Dr. Edward L. Bartlett, Dr. Fang Huang Abstract: Integrating bottom-up-driven sensory features with top-down contextual feedback is crucial for learning and executing sensorimotor cognitive tasks. The primary somatosensory cortex (S1) plays a central role in this integration by processing bottom-up feedforward inputs in its deep layers and feedback inputs in its superficial layers. Layer 5 pyramidal neurons (L5 PNs) are vital to this integration, as their extensive dendritic arborizations span both deep and superficial layers, while their axons project to various cortical and subcortical regions. This unique structure and connectivity allow L5 PNs to encode multiplexed sensory inputs and top-down feedback, effectively broadcasting the outcomes of this integration to downstream areas in the brain. However, the biophysical mechanisms underlying this integration at the subcellular level in individual L5 PNs have not been well understood. To investigate this cellular computation, I employed a combination of techniques, including holographic two-photon uncaging, electrophysiology, and both in vivo and ex vivo two-photon Ca²⁺ imaging, along with biophysical simulations. My findings showed that inputs from the basal dendrites, which represent feedforward sensory features, are multiplexed to create a "barcode" of somatic action potentials. This process involves the interaction between dendritic Na⁺ channels, NMDA receptors (NMDAR), and nonlinearities at the axo-somatic level. Moreover, this combined, basal-centric temporal-rate code dynamically integrates with feedback received through the apical dendritic arbors, and this integration depends on the specific subtype of pyramidal neurons. The study suggests that these integration profiles vary depending on the pyramidal tract subtype, allowing different integration outcomes to be directed toward distinct subcortical targets. In vivo results from animals engaged in a sensory discrimination task indicated that apical dendritic spikes—indicative of the translaminar integration of bottom-up and top-down inputs—evolve as the animals learn reward associations. These findings illuminate the synaptic and dendritic mechanisms that facilitate sensory feature multiplexing in L5 PNs and provide insights into how this integration dynamically changes during cognitive learning behaviors. -- Bmeroundtable-list mailing list Bmeroundtable-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/bmeroundtable-list
